Since most of us are obsessed with with hairtoys and know that "most of the time" you have to pay a bit extra money to get a good qulaity item. Hense I say most of the time not all of the time.I know some of us buy cheap stuff and they hold up and look amazing. Either way, what is the most you paid for a hairtoy? I have to say the most I paid was 30$ for my graydog hair pin; which I love to pieces and wear on most days.

Lessee....

Yep, my medium ficcares, running at $32 a pop. After that my custom dragon hair stick made by amadlife0 and then at close range the 60thstreet forks. :)

One pair of sticks:
I paid approx. $60 for a pair of longlocks.. in 2006 I think - my first hair sticks^^

A total order:
Last year I ordered 4 ficcares.. $34x4 = $136 (+ $65 - Danish taxes... ouch!!) -- $201!

I paid $80 for an antique hair fork on ebay.:o I can't help it, I just love them. But I actually bid on one for $120 and didn't win it...

I think I paid around 38$ for an auction on ebay for a pair of Papadohns.

I didn't buy it, but my hubby bought me a beautiful copper, brass and nickel comb for our anniversary last year. They were $65 at the time - they upped the price, now they are $75 <sniff>

I have paid $95 for Longlocks sugarstix...more than once.:o

What can I say...they are gorgeous, and a much longer lasting joy than a cut & color in a salon.

my bronze spider web with nickel spider - barrette from bronze jewellers. $35 plus $20 shipping (I did by other things though)

My ficcares...$34 each and shipping and customs.

I paid $ 10.00 the most so far. But I am still collecting. Hoping to get a ficcare soon. =)

I don't usually spend lots on hairtoys, most of mine are some form of elastic / scrunchie or ribbon, I have some headbands and clips too. but the most I ever spent on a single hairtoy was 10 pounds on a simple tiara it had no jewels or anything on it and I only had to wear it for one night.

$5 for a pair of hair sticks at Claire's. I'm cheap and poor so I don't really have anything expensive.

My most expensive hair toys are my ficcares. Somewhere between $32 and $36 plus sales tax.

I would have a hard time spending more than that on a hair toy, however. It just doesn't seem worth it.

They have some very pretty things in there! I've tried and tried to buy things there, but my hair doesn't like them unfortunately. I went in there one day and found some sticks I loved and asked the girl 'if I break them, do I have to buy them?' she got a confused look on her face, then looked at my hair, grinned and said no. I tried them...I snapped one, I was so sad, I gave them back to her and left.

The most I've spent on a given item is $6-7 dollars... But that was when I was given money and told to go "buy something for yourself for christmas." So, I bought some things that I wouldn't normally have bought for myself.

The most I've spent in a day was probably less than $20.

Now.... Conditioner buying day is a completely different story... :D

April 16th, 2008, 02:24 PM
Hmmm. I have honestly gotten some killer deals on most of my toys. I am thinking maybe $45 or so at most? Now, if we were talking what "retail" cost on my entire collection would be... then I probably wouldn't want to know. :silly:

UK &#163;37 on a large Ficcare for my mom. I bought it in Selfridges and boy do they have a mark-up. Never again, I've always ordered via Ficcare.com since then as it's cheaper.

Ohio Sky
April 16th, 2008, 03:05 PM
$31 for these (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=8040039). I kicked myself in the a$$ all the way back to Nightshades shop to buy more :o

Other than the stuff Ive bought from her, my next most expensive is my flexi-8, which I think was $15. Those are my only major buys so far :)

basak
April 16th, 2008, 03:30 PM
I bought a Ficcare for $28. I bought a Quattro stick for about the same price. Then I sold both of these so they don't count. I also ordered a total of three Flexi 8s for about $45. I'm another one that gets killer deals :)

spidermom

Medium Ficcare for $32.00 is the most expensive item so far. I don't use it often. The hinge and spring tends to grab hair.

I can't actually remember but I spent three digit numbers for both ketylo and ficcare orders:o I guess one of that ketylo fork is 34$ or something while ficcare max. large was on sale. Hmmm but ficcare had horrible shipping rates.

I once paid 35.00 USD for a beautiful barrette from http://www.brazinlady.com/. I often use it as a brooch of sorts too, so it was well worth it.

April 16th, 2008, 07:37 PM
The most I have ever spent is prob $10. I dont have much though since I'm just venturing into long hair. I'm thinking about a ficcare but am still undecided. They look like they might be heavy and I dont care for heavy hair accessories.

Products on the other hand I have spent a lot more on.

WritingPrincess

$8. I go for the hairtoys listed at cheaper prices because I don't have a lot of money. I wish there was a way to try a ficcare out "on loan" so to speak.

If you are going to attend a meet, message the other people coming and ask them to bring along the toys you want to see.

I tried a ficcare out at a meet and saw other things I wanted too. I am sure anyone would be willing to bring one along for you to try.

I knwo after the graydog I go for cheaper items usually around 15-20$ and then I only buy it if i have the money. I want a ficcare to but like you said I wish I could try it first to see if it is worth 32 dollars plus the shipping cost.

I paid $50 for a Monk hairstick, but the end is topped with a ruby in a sterling silver cap. I can't figure out why no one else bid on it but I'm glad none of you did because it is stunning. I have another Monk stick of similar design but with wood of a different burl and it is topped with an emerald in a sterling cap. I think I paid $50 for that one too. Normally I make my own sticks and forks, but since I don't have rubies and emeralds lying around, and the Monk does good work, I splurged.

$34 plus shipping to the UK on a Ficcare Maximas clip. Can't remember how much it worked out in the end. Well worth it though, it holds all day. The rest of my hair accessories are mostly cheap things from Claire's.

Leisha
April 17th, 2008, 07:10 PM
My ficcares were my biggest extravagance, by far. I don't know what would be my next most expensive thing... I'd say my ketylos? Or a cat hair stick I bought (and haven't worn yet) that was 8 euro... Oh or my flexi-8.

I guess after the ficcare's, the most expensive things I've bought would be around 15 dollar. I don't have a lot of money at the moment so even that is quite "expensive" for me :o

TheHippieChick

CountessDeJager

Do I win a prize? :)

$195.00 for a Jezzard and Jezzard slide/snoody thing that was an impulse purchase at the renaissance festival. Half the cost was the stone on it and I'd say it is worth it because it is one of the few pieces of my jewelry that gets real use.

AmandaPanda
April 17th, 2008, 10:27 PM
Well, I didn't buy them, but my mom bought me a $60-ish pair of longlocks sticks approx 5 years ago. They weren't worth it IMO.

A close second would be a $40-ish danglestick from Quattro (I wish I still had it but I sold it after I cut my hair). He doesn't make them anymore, but maybe he would if I ask...

jessie58
April 17th, 2008, 10:35 PM
$160.00 for a pair of LongLocks sticks, including shipping. Other LongLocks pairs were from $95.00 to $130.00.

I have gotten past my stick obsession now and have moved on to wooden forks. Not nearly as expensive.

Anje
April 17th, 2008, 10:44 PM
Most I paid? Probably not much -- I'm a bit cheap. But my hubby got me a large Ficcare for Christmas. Since it's all out of the same account, I suppose that counts. Put me down for $34.

About 40 euro's, that's about $63 at the moment. Really nice but a but big. I haven't got really cheap toys. The cheepest are Ketylo's or flexi8. When I just started on my hairtoy addiction I told myself I could only get quality toys because else I would spend a fortune on plastic...

I must have spent loads over the years cos Ive got boxes of accessories.....I love them! The most Ive ever spent was &#163;35 on a single barrette. Ive had it for ages and I wear it often, so going by the "cost per wear" rule, Id say it was pretty good value.

I think the most expensive stick I have is an ebony, malachite and maple burl stick from WoodbyC. It was about &#163;20 and I think I've worn it twice :ponder: as it gets classed as special wear. Must wear it more often.

Most of my sticks are &#163;7 max ($14), I try to keep single sticks as close to &#163;5 as possible and pairs and forks under &#163;15 max.

April 20th, 2008, 01:29 PM
For me, maybe 60.00 was the most I've ever wanted to pay for a hair toy. I mean, unless it's made of pure gold, why bother? Of course, I haven't been hair toy shopping in depth.

I have paid $95 for Longlocks sugarstix...more than once.:o

What can I say...they are gorgeous, and a much longer lasting joy than a cut & color in a salon. I was thinking about that the other day -- when I was getting cuts and colours, the cost ranged from $60 to $120 every four or five weeks, depending on how much colour touch-up was needed.

Oh, I'm glad my DH has no interest in reading long hair forums. I paid 90 dollars (so far 4 times) from Longlocks! They're my most expensive hair toys, and so gorgeous!

truepeacenik
June 1st, 2008, 07:27 PM
I think the priciest was a shade under $40 for a MTM three prong in blue.
I look at it this way: I love my hair. My husband loves my hair. I have red hair and a goodly dose of the fabled temper (oh quit laughing).
which means if I have to mess with my hair all that much I say things like scissors.
which I do not mean 45 seconds later.

So I have a small but fun hair toy collection.

I have a ficcare, it was a gift so I didn't pay for it but I think it was $30-40 something. Then my sticks made by Nightshade, those were $25. The rest of my sticks are cheaper ones from Icing and Claire's.

I believe my most expensive hairtoy was a sterling and garnet braid ender. It hooks through the elastic and wraps around the end of the braid. It came from Gaelsong, and I see that while they still have them, the price seems to have gone up. At least, I don't think I paid sixty dollars for it when I bought it a few years ago. And I just binged on some lovely hairsticks, but the braid ender was the most expensive single item.

I think the most I've spent is $5 and that's pushing it.

I've spent $40 each on my Ficcares and after that I have bought a hair fork by Barreis for $30 ish

Before I had long hair I would never spend more than a few dollars on any hair accessory but I would also never wear them. I also would spend $50 every 6 weeks to get my hair cut and colored.

I wear the Ficcares and my hair fork frequently, I think it's worth it although I would never amass a $800 hair toy collection as that seems a bit crazy I don't see anything wrong with buying expensive, well made hair accessories that I use alot.

The most I've spent on a single hairtoy is probably only &#163;5, and I usually buy them in Claire's, Superdrug or Internacionale or other high street stores.

...As YET, that is to say! Since I joined LHC recently I've been coveting all these gorgeous, expensive hairtoys I've seen posted... you guys are such enablers! :p

I don't have very many hair toys yet. So far, the most I've paid was $20 for a pair of hair sticks. I got them at a Ren. faire, and they were handmade, so I thought that was a really reasonable price. I really want a Ficcare now, after seeing all the beautiful ones people have on here. If I had more money, you can probably guess where it would be going. ;)

p.s. I love how the ad at the bottom of the page is for "longhairgirl.com". As if LHC isn't already tempting me enough to go spend all my money on hair accessories! :D

Me two. I bought practically all of the Lotus Jewel Collection and wear one of the collection almost every day. Worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. And if what I'm wearing doesn't match one of the jewel collection, I have other Ficcares that most likely will or the fallback of the silver Ficcares.

I paid $80 for a Graydog stick.

The most expensive piece I own though was a gift, another Graydog that sold for $230. I received it for my birthday this year (along with a second Graydog that sold for $80; both gifts were from the same person).

$45 for a pair of beatnik505 sticks. I can call that $22.50 per hair toy, since it was a pair. And $22.50 is still my highest expenditure.

The most I paid is somewhere between $5-9, but I don't want to spend expensive! I choose wisely to protect my hair from damaging it! So I use the Goody hair accessories that keeps it from damaging hair and not pulling out your hair! Like those soft scrunchy hair band, bigger size, I use jaw clips from small to medium size and clips! That's it! For the hair sticks, I just wait til classic length! I'll buy hair sticks maybe less than $10 that won't damage hair! I'm kindy :agree::ppicky on choosing the good hairtoy that isn't expensive!

$12 for my Ketylos rosewood stick. I've eyed some of the more expensive sticks/clips/forks/slides, but right now I just can't fit anything more pricey into my tiny student budget. Maybe for Christmas...

I think $44 for a large Ficcare (my Mason Pearson brush is the most expensive but that's not really a hairtoy). I usually place big orders and my biggest order to date is $400 + customs for 8 Ficcares. Crazy!:o Now, why you had to show me these Longlocks sticks...:D

It's not the hair toys I spend the money on, its the hair products that cost me the most.

$50 for a fancy swirly Celtic-y sterling clip at a renfair. I would never have regretted it, either, if I hadn't lost it to a sticky-fingered college roomie in 1995 or so!

Hmm, this is a tough question. The most expensive hair toy I have is possibly the crystal Ficcare (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff176/Little_Orca/Long%20Hair%20Gallery/Hair%20Toys/IMG_8136-1.jpg) my fiance got for me ($60), but as for buying one on my own...:hmm: Maybe my other Ficcares (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff176/Little_Orca/Long%20Hair%20Gallery/Hair%20Toys/IMG_7133.jpg).

about forty dollars, I think? $36.00? But I "buy in bulk", as it were, so I tend to pay a lot more as a result. ;op (No one can buy just one! lol)
